The royal couple has unveiled their 20th wedding anniversary portrait for this year's Christmas card, featuring a heartwarming photograph of King Charles and Queen Camilla taken by Chris Jackson. The image was captured in the grounds of Villa Wolkonsky in Rome earlier this year, with the queen wearing an elegant white and beige coat dress adorned with a lily of the valley brooch, while the king donned a stylish blue pinstripe suit with a grey tie.
The couple's 20-year milestone anniversary was marked on April 9, 2025, during their state visit to Italy, where they attended a grand banquet as guests of honour. The official Christmas card, which is sent out annually to hundreds of family, friends, world leaders, diplomats, charities, and organisations, features the pair standing side by side with Camilla's arm linked to Charles', framed inside a dark red border.
The traditional message on the opposite side of the card reads "Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year", setting the tone for a festive holiday season. It comes as the royal family prepares for their own celebrations, with King Charles hosting his wider family at Sandringham in Norfolk on Christmas Day.

The royal couple's anniversary portrait looks so romantic! I love how Queen Camilla is rocking that elegant coat dress and the lily of the valley brooch adds a nice touch 
. And King Charles, he's looking dashing in his blue pinstripe suit 
. I'm sure it's a great way to celebrate their 20-year milestone anniversary 
. It's always interesting to see how they present themselves for special occasions like this 
. The dark red border is a nice touch too! 
. Either way, I'm sure it'll be a lovely holiday season for the royal family 
. It's those little details that make their anniversary portrait so special 
It's like, how time flies! The photo is really beautiful, especially Camilla looking stunning in that white and beige coat dress... she's still got that elegance about her 
I mean, who wouldn't want to see the Queen looking elegant in her white coat dress? 
And Charles rocking that blue pinstripe suit, he's still got it 
? And, fun fact: their wedding day was actually rescheduled from May to April 2021 due to COVID-19 
. Anyway, back to the Christmas card... did you notice that the dark red border is a bit bold? 
According to Royal Family fan accounts, this design has been used for over 40 years now! 
. And get this - Queen Camilla is now the most-followed member of the royal family on Instagram with over 1.5M followers 
... I mean, have you seen the way they're posing? It's like they're trying to convey some sort of message 
. And what's with the dark red border? Is that a new design for Christmas cards or just a coincidence? 
. I've seen some suspicious stuff about this royal family, and I'm starting to think there's more to their celebrations than meets the eye 
...
I mean, can we talk about how weird it is that they're releasing this picture now, and not like a year or two ago? It feels like the royal family's just trying to flood our feeds with more of themselves. And don't even get me started on the card itself – dark red border? Who thought that was a good idea? 
It's like they're trying to scream "Look at us, we're rich and fancy!" Meanwhile, I'm over here thinking about how they're probably spending millions on this photo shoot and all the other extravagance that comes with being royalty. And what's up with the traditional message being super generic? Can't they come up with something a bit more personal or heartfelt for once? 
But what really caught my eye is how this card reflects the evolving image of the royal family - from stiff and formal to more relaxed and modern (see: Queen Camilla's gorgeous coat dress 
). It feels like they're embracing their role as a family, rather than just carrying out traditional duties. And can we talk about how beautiful the dark red border is? 
!
. Villa Wolkonsky looks like a fairytale setting, don't you think? 
. It's great to see them looking so happy together after 20 years of marriage 
. Can't wait to see what other royal shenanigans the rest of the year brings 
and that brooch on her necklace is just too pretty for words 
They look absolutely lovely together, all elegant and happy 
...anyway, i love how camilla is rocking that lily of the valley brooch
